2.24.1
सेमाम॑विड्ढि॒ प्रभृ॑तिं॒ य ईशि॑षे अ॒या वि॑धेम॒ नव॑या म॒हा गि॒रा ।
यथा॑ नो मी॒ढ्वान्त्स्तव॑ते॒ सखा॒ तव॒ बृह॑स्पते॒ सीष॑धः॒ सोत नो॑ म॒तिम् ॥
O Bṛhaspati, let us accomplish this offering that you rule, with this new and great song. As a gracious friend praises you, so make our thought prosper as well.
2.24.2
यो नन्त्वा॒न्यन॑म॒न्न्योज॑सो॒ताद॑र्दर्म॒न्युना॒ शम्ब॑राणि॒ वि ।
प्राच्या॑वय॒दच्यु॑ता॒ ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पति॒रा चावि॑श॒द्वसु॑मन्तं॒ वि पर्व॑तम् ॥
He who by strength bent down the bowed ones and in fury tore apart the Śambaras, Bṛhaspati shook loose the unshaken and entered the treasure-laden mountain.
2.24.3
तद्दे॒वानां॑ दे॒वत॑माय॒ कर्त्व॒मश्र॑थ्नन्दृ॒ळ्हाव्र॑दन्त वीळि॒ता ।
उद्गा आ॑ज॒दभि॑न॒द्ब्रह्म॑णा व॒लमगू॑ह॒त्तमो॒ व्य॑चक्षय॒त्स्वः॑ ॥
For that deed of the most divine of the gods, they set up firm pillars, and the bound ones roared. Bṛhaspati broke open Vala, drove out the cows, dispelled the hidden darkness, and revealed the heavenly light.
2.24.4
अश्मा॑स्यमव॒तं ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पति॒र्मधु॑धारम॒भि यमोज॒सातृ॑णत् ।
तमे॒व विश्वे॑ पपिरे स्व॒र्दृशो॑ ब॒हु सा॒कं सि॑सिचु॒रुत्स॑मु॒द्रिण॑म् ॥
With strength Bṛhaspati opened the stone-mouthed pit, the sweet-streamed treasure; all the seers of the heavenly light drank it, and together poured forth the overflowing spring.
2.24.5
सना॒ ता का चि॒द्भुव॑ना॒ भवी॑त्वा मा॒द्भिः श॒रद्भि॒र्दुरो॑ वरन्त वः ।
अय॑तन्ता चरतो अ॒न्यद॑न्य॒दिद्या च॒कार॑ व॒युना॒ ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पतिः॑ ॥
These many worlds that have come into being, by months and autumn years surround the doors; two stand still, moving as they touch one another. The deeds that Bṛhaspati fashioned also stand firm.
2.24.6
अ॒भि॒नक्ष॑न्तो अ॒भि ये तमा॑न॒शुर्नि॒धिं प॑णी॒नां प॑र॒मं गुहा॑ हि॒तम् ।
ते वि॒द्वांसः॑ प्रति॒चक्ष्यानृ॑ता॒ पुन॒र्यत॑ उ॒ आय॒न्तदुदी॑युरा॒विश॑म् ॥
Those who went toward the hidden treasure set in the supreme cave of the Paṇis, being knowing and clearly seeing, came out again from untruths; they returned to the very hidden place whence they had come.
2.24.7
ऋ॒तावा॑नः प्रति॒चक्ष्यानृ॑ता॒ पुन॒रात॒ आ त॑स्थुः क॒वयो॑ म॒हस्प॒थः ।
ते बा॒हुभ्यां॑ धमि॒तम॒ग्निमश्म॑नि॒ नकिः॒ षो अ॒स्त्यर॑णो ज॒हुर्हि तम् ॥
The seers who uphold ṛta again saw falsehood from afar and stood upon the great paths. With both arms they blew up the fire kindled in the stone; no one harms him, for they had left him behind.
2.24.8
ऋ॒तज्ये॑न क्षि॒प्रेण॒ ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पति॒र्यत्र॒ वष्टि॒ प्र तद॑श्नोति॒ धन्व॑ना ।
तस्य॑ सा॒ध्वीरिष॑वो॒ याभि॒रस्य॑ति नृ॒चक्ष॑सो दृ॒शये॒ कर्ण॑योनयः ॥
Wherever the lord of Brahmanaspati drives with his swift, ṛta-impelled shaft, there he reaches with his bow. His auspicious arrows, with which he shoots, are for the seeing of the man-beholding one; they are born of the ear.
2.24.9
स सं॑न॒यः स वि॑न॒यः पु॒रोहि॑तः॒ स सुष्टु॑तः॒ स यु॒धि ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पतिः॑ ।
चा॒क्ष्मो यद्वाजं॒ भर॑ते म॒ती धनादित्सूर्य॑स्तपति तप्य॒तुर्वृथा॑ ॥
He is the harmonizer, he is the guide, he is the foremost priest; he is the well-praised one, and in battle he is the lord of the sacred word. When he brings strength and riches by thought, it is the sun that shines; the scorcher does not scorch in vain.
2.24.10
वि॒भु प्र॒भु प्र॑थ॒मं मे॒हना॑वतो॒ बृह॒स्पतेः॑ सुवि॒दत्रा॑णि॒ राध्या॑ ।
इ॒मा सा॒तानि॑ वे॒न्यस्य॑ वा॒जिनो॒ येन॒ जना॑ उ॒भये॑ भुञ्ज॒ते विशः॑ ॥
All-pervading, mighty, foremost— these are the good gifts and the excellent bounties of Mehanāvat Bṛhaspati; these are the gains of the Venya, the strong one, by which both peoples and clans enjoy them.
2.24.11
योऽव॑रे वृ॒जने॑ वि॒श्वथा॑ वि॒भुर्म॒हामु॑ र॒ण्वः शव॑सा व॒वक्षि॑थ ।
स दे॒वो दे॒वान्प्रति॑ पप्रथे पृ॒थु विश्वेदु॒ ता प॑रि॒भूर्ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पतिः॑ ॥
He who is all-pervading and mighty in the lower realms, in the struggle, in every way, who revealed himself in might eagerly among the great ones— that god has spread wide among the gods; the encompassing one is the lord of the sacred word.
2.24.12
विश्वं॑ स॒त्यं म॑घवाना यु॒वोरिदाप॑श्च॒न प्र मि॑नन्ति व्र॒तं वा॑म् ।
अच्छे॑न्द्राब्रह्मणस्पती ह॒विर्नोऽन्नं॒ युजे॑व वा॒जिना॑ जिगातम् ॥
O bountiful ones, all your truth stands firm; even the waters never break your vow. O Indra and Brahmanaspati, come to our oblation and our food, as two swift horses come with the yoke-horses.
2.24.13
उ॒ताशि॑ष्ठा॒ अनु॑ शृण्वन्ति॒ वह्न॑यः स॒भेयो॒ विप्रो॑ भरते म॒ती धना॑ ।
वी॒ळु॒द्वेषा॒ अनु॒ वश॑ ऋ॒णमा॑द॒दिः स ह॑ वा॒जी स॑मि॒थे ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पतिः॑ ॥
The seer of the assembly, inspired, brings riches with his devoted thought; the singers hear him as he goes with the Maruts. He who scatters enemies and gives back the debt, that mighty one, is lord of prayer in the contest, Brahmaṇaspati.
2.24.14
ब्रह्म॑ण॒स्पते॑रभवद्यथाव॒शं स॒त्यो म॒न्युर्महि॒ कर्मा॑ करिष्य॒तः ।
यो गा उ॒दाज॒त्स दि॒वे वि चा॑भजन्म॒हीव॑ री॒तिः शव॑सासर॒त्पृथ॑क् ॥
The wrath of Brahmaṇaspati arose at his will, true and mighty; his great deed was about to be done. He who drove out the cows also parted them for the sky, and like a great path he made the streams flow apart by his strength.
2.24.15
ब्रह्म॑णस्पते सु॒यम॑स्य वि॒श्वहा॑ रा॒यः स्या॑म र॒थ्यो॑ वय॑स्वतः ।
वी॒रेषु॑ वी॒राँ उप॑ पृङ्धि न॒स्त्वं यदीशा॑नो॒ ब्रह्म॑णा॒ वेषि॑ मे॒ हव॑म् ॥
O Brahmaṇaspati, may we always be charioteers of the wealth of the good giver Suyama. Among heroes, grant us heroes. Since you are able, you hear my call with prayer.
2.24.16
ब्रह्म॑णस्पते॒ त्वम॒स्य य॒न्ता सू॒क्तस्य॑ बोधि॒ तन॑यं च जिन्व ।
विश्वं॒ तद्भ॒द्रं यदव॑न्ति दे॒वा बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
O Brahmaṇaspati, you be the guide of this hymn, and also rouse the offspring. May we gain all the good that the gods protect. In the contest, with good heroes, may we speak a great praise.
